Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a production process for a zinc enriched drinking water for human consumption.
  • the invention also relates to a zinc enriched drinking water composition and to a packaged zinc enriched drinking water.
  • bottled waters are enriched in various minerals and ingredients: calcium, magnesium, bicarbonates, sodium, sulfate . . . etc, according to the nutritional and taste properties that we want the water to have.
  • the currents zinc enriched beverages are usually not considered as water as they contain sugar.
  • Zinc is an essential trace element for human being and has an important role in the organism, especially because it activates lots of enzymes.
  • zinc operates in:
  • the Daily Recommended Intake (DRI) is about a 10 to 15 mg but varies if it is for a child (5 to 8 mg/d), a teenager (10 mg/d), a woman (8 mg/d) or a man (11 mg/d).
  • a zinc deficiency can lead to late growth, late sexual maturing, peel and flavor troubles, hair loss, late healing, and immunity troubles.
  • pregnancy which is a critical period, zinc deficiency can lead to a risk of malformation of the fetus.
  • the World Health Organization has revealed a certain number of countries in which some high zinc deficiencies have been identified, especially for children and pregnant women. Among them, we can mention India, Pakistan or Nigeria.
  • a zinc fortification is then to be considered in these countries.
  • This fortification can be done by adding zinc in human food products.
  • the invention provides a production process for zinc enriched drinking water, also called final water product, for human consumption having limited zinc sedimentation.
  • This process comprises, starting from a water matrix comprising drinking, a first step of:
  • This process allows producing zinc enriched drinking water in which zinc is mainly under soluble form with a sedimentation below 10% of the soluble zinc during the time and under the conditions of average storage of the product on the shelves.
  • the sedimentation of zinc in the packaged water is minimum (below 10% of the soluble zinc). Furthermore, as zinc remains in soluble form and in homogenous concentration in the water, there is no interaction with the bottle or container walls and zinc can then be absorbed in optimal way by the person drinking said water.
  • the water matrix mainly comprises drinking water from drillings or other water springs. Said drinking water can be used directly (after different checks, tests and filterings) or can be partially or totally demineralized.
  • the step of acidifying water matrix is made by adding a strong acid to the water matrix.
  • a strong acid is that the taste is not modified in a perceptible way due to the very small amount of acid that are added.
  • the strong acid is selected in the list of: sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid. But, for practical reasons, acid sulfuric is preferred as it does not cause formation of insoluble salts.
  • the process of the invention comprises a step of adding zinc.
  • Zinc is added as a salt chosen in the list: zinc sulfate, zinc chloride but other zinc salt could be used.
  • the zinc salt can be anhydrous or hydrated.
  • the quantity of zinc added in the final water product is chosen to cover about 5 to 30% of Daily Recommended Intake (DRI).
  • DRI Daily Recommended Intake
  • the process according to the invention also comprises step of adding magnesium and/or calcium in a soluble salt form. This step takes place at whatever step of the process after initial measurement of the pH (step A).
  • magnesium can be added at the same time as zinc during the zinc adding step.
  • a mixture of zinc sulfate and of magnesium sulfate is made. This mixture is injected on line to the water matrix during the zinc adding step.
  • magnesium is preferably added as magnesium sulfate but can possibly also be added as magnesium chloride.
  • Magnesium is added in a concentration between 10 mg/l and 375 mg/l.
  • calcium it is added as calcium chloride in a concentration between 20 mg/l and 1 g/l.
  • the claimed process also comprises additional and optional step of adding bicarbonates.
  • Bicarbonates are generally added lastly in the process thereby forming the final water product but they can be added earlier in the process, for example, before acidifying the water matrix.
  • the bicarbonates are added as sodium bicarbonates and/or potassium bicarbonates according to the taste characteristics that we want the water to have.
  • the quantity of added bicarbonates is variable and is between 5 mg/l and 500 mg/l.
  • the claimed process also comprises additional and optional step of adding bicarbonates.
  • Bicarbonates are generally added lastly in the process thereby forming the final water product but can be added earlier in the process, for example, before acidifying the water matrix.
  • the production process of zinc enriched drinking water also comprises a step of verifying the pH of the final water product in order to ensure that said final water product has the necessary pH characteristics to avoid sedimentation of zinc.
  • the production process of the invention comprises a step of ozonation of the final water product before its packaging.
  • This ozonation step by gaseous ozone injection, aims to destroy microorganisms possibly present in the final water product and to present any potential microbial growth.
  • the present invention also concerns a zinc enriched drinking water composition
  • a zinc enriched drinking water composition comprising zinc, magnesium and/or calcium and having a pH lower than 7 so that sedimentation of zinc in the composition is lower than 10% of soluble zinc over a period of 12 months at a temperature up to 40° C.
  • the invention also relates to a packaged zinc enriched drinking water.
  • This packaged zinc enriched drinking water comprises zinc enriched drinking water composition and protecting packaging (bottle, pouch and/or container).
  • the zinc enriched drinking water composition can indeed be packaged in different packaging according to its future use.
  • FIG. 1 presents a simple diagram of the production process according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 presents a graph representing the change of soluble zinc quantity in water according to water pH, for a water comprising 2.3 mg/l of zinc.
  • FIG. 3 presents a graph representing the change of soluble zinc quantity in water according to water pH, for a water comprising 3.7 mg/l of zinc.
  • the production process of zinc enriched water according the present invention begins with water matrix.
  • the water matrix mainly comprises drinking water from drilling or other water spring. Said drinking water can be used directly (after different checks and tests) or can be partially or totally demineralized.
  • water matrix water resources located on the production site will be used. If the production site is located where there are many water springs, the water matrix will mainly be formed of spring water. On the other hand if the production site is in a location with very few water in the nature, the water matrix will mainly be formed of drinking water processed with mechanical and/or chemical filters. According to the filters used, the drinking water will be totally or partially demineralized.
  • the water matrix comprises drinking water that is used directly or used after being partially or totally demineralized according to local resources.
  • the water matrix can have very different chemical composition according to the drinking water that is used. Therefore, the treatments and the added ingredients/minerals will be different in their nature and/or quantity.
  • the water matrix is first stored in a tank 1 . Then it flows through a water pipeline 2 and arrives to a second tank, remineralized water tank 3 , storing the final water product.
  • More mineral tanks can be used according to the number of ingredients and/or minerals to be added to the water matrix.
  • the final product is store in the remineralized water tank 3 where it can be mixed using mechanical means.
  • mechanical mixing means can be a rotary fan.
  • a hum filter 5 is placed on the pipeline after all the minerals and ingredient have been added and before the remineralized water tank 3 .
  • a mineral preparation tank 6 taking small amount of water from pipeline 2 is used to prepare concentrated mineral solutions which are then after stored in the different minerals tank 4 a to 4 c .
  • One mineral solution is made at a time and then stored in a mineral tank before injection of a mineral dose in the water flowing in the pipeline.
  • step A consists of measuring the pH of the water matrix. This measurement will allow, according to the ingredient/minerals that will be added in further steps of the process, to forecast the pH value of the final water product to ensure that it will not exceed predetermined value ensuring that zinc will remain in a soluble form in the final water product.
  • This pH measurement is made using a calibrated pH meter referenced 7 .
  • Step B consists in acidifying the water matrix.
  • the acidification extent will depend on the characteristics of the water matrix, especially pH value, and on the ingredients/minerals that will be added to obtain the final water product.
  • Step B can be done in several ways.
  • a strong acid is one that completely ionizes in water, i.e. in water yielding the strong acid HA dissolves completely in one proton H + and the conjugated base A ⁇
  • the strong acid is chosen in the list of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid.
  • sulfuric acid is added to the water matrix because the added quantities of acid are very small, around 20 mg/l, and therefore have no effect on the taste of the final water product. Furthermore, the used of sulfuric acid does not lead to the formation of insoluble salts.
  • step C The following step of the process is the step of adding zinc, step C. This step allows enriching the water matrix with soluble zinc.
  • step C zinc is added in a concentration between 0.8 and 5 mg/l. Considering that a person drinks one liter of zinc enriched drinking water, the quantity of zinc added in the water matrix allows to cover around 5 to 30% of Daily Recommended Intake (DRI).
  • DRI Daily Recommended Intake
  • Zinc is added as zinc salt; for example, anhydrous or hydrated zinc sulfate, or anhydrous or hydrated zinc chloride. These zinc salts are simple to handle thereby simplifying the process.
  • the quantity of zinc that is added (between 0.8 and 5 mg/l) has very few effect on the taste of the enriched water.
  • magnesium can optionally be added to the water matrix. Magnesium could, according to clinical studies, help in reducing high blood pressure. Furthermore, it helps in normalizing heart rhythm and has an effect on muscular contraction.
  • step of adding magnesium, step C′ can be done independently to step C of zinc adding or can be combined to it.
  • this step can be done before or after step C of adding zinc.
  • magnesium is added as magnesium salt, for example in the form of magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride.
  • magnesium and zinc will be added together to the water matrix for example as a solution of magnesium sulfate and zinc sulfate.
  • the quantity of added magnesium is generally between 10 mg/l and 375 mg/l.
  • the process according to the invention also comprises an optional C′′ step (not presented in FIG. 1 but similar to step C′) in which calcium is added. It can effectively be interesting to combine the effects of both zinc and calcium on growth.
  • Calcium is an essential mineral on many biological processes. Apart from being a major constituent of bones and teeth, calcium is essential for muscular contraction, impulse conduction, heart beating, blood coagulation, production of energy of immune function.
  • Step C′′ can be done before or after step C of adding zinc.
  • calcium is added as calcium chloride in a concentration between 20 mg/l and 1 g/l.
  • step D An additional and optional step of adding bicarbonates, step D, is also integrated in the production process of the invention.
  • the bicarbonates are usually added as sodium bicarbonates and/or potassium bicarbonates. In the current diagram, they are added lastly giving the final water product which after treatment is packaged.
  • Bicarbonates are added in variable concentrations according to the water matrix and to the taste wanted for the final water product. Average concentration of added bicarbonates is about 5 mg/l to 500 mg/l.
  • bicarbonates The effect of bicarbonates is to raise the pH level of the solution. In the present case, it is then necessary to have had sufficient fall of pH during step B of acidifying the water matrix so that once bicarbonates are added, pH will not be higher than 7 when packaging the final water product.
  • pH is higher than 7 when bottling the final water product, zinc will have a high risk to precipitate during storage of the bottled water and will not be anymore available in soluble form for the person drinking said water.
  • step B, C, C′, C′′ and D can be inverted between them.
  • step D of adding bicarbonates can take place before acidifying the water matrix or just after step C of adding zinc.
  • step E A check of the pH is made in step E on the final water product by measuring pH in order to ensure that pH of final water product is lower than 7. This pH measurement is made by using a second pH meter referenced 7 ′.
  • the pH is comprised between 6.5 and 7.
  • Zinc enriched drinking water will then not produce its effect of zinc fortification because of zinc sticking to the bottle walls that will not be absorbed by the person drinking said water. All the benefits of this zinc enriched drinking water will then be lost.
  • the final water product is stored in the remineralized water tank 3 where it is usually mixed in order to achieve homogenous dilution of the ingredients and minerals in the final water product.
  • the final water product is then after filtered by one or more filter 5 ′.
